Good Day
I have been struggling for weeks now. I need help please on using dax, I have 4 measures one for each quarter in the year. I am struggling to figure out how can One use the a certian measure based on the selected date range. eg: If user selects 01 Jan 2023-15 Jan 2023 measure 1 should apply for that period or the user selects 01 April 2023 - 15 April 2023 measure 2 should apply.
I would really appreciate the assistance.
Regards,
Itu
Good Day tt_and
Thank you for assisting. Kindly note that the switch formula doesn't return the calandar table, screen dump below to show what I am getting.
Hi. I assume you have a date table that's used for slicing on dates. If you add a column to the date table defining each period on each date row, you can use this with a switch in a base measure.
Base measure =
switch(
calendar[Period],
1, [Measure1],
2, [Measure2],
3, [Measure3],
4, [Measure4]
)
Building on the approach proposed by @tt_and, you can also create a measure. The trick is to utilize a vartual table within the measure to generate the total of all the different measures you are switching between.
Base measure =
VAR __table1 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
calendar,
"@composite_measure",
SWITCH (
calendar[Period],
1, [Measure1],
2, [Measure2],
3, [Measure3],
4, [Measure4]
)
)
RETURN
SUMX ( __table1, [@composite_measure] )
